 ## How to build host software on Windows:
 
-### Prerequisites for mingw:
-
-* cmake-2.8.12.1 or more see http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
-* libusb-1.0.20 or more see https://github.com/libusb/libusb/releases/download/v1.0.20/libusb-1.0.20.7z
-* For Windows OS less than Vista Install Windows driver for AirSpy hardware or use Zadig see http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig
-  - If you want to use Zadig  select AirSpy USB device and just install/replace it with WinUSB driver.
-
->**Note for Windows build:**
- You shall always execute airspy_tools from Windows command shell and not from Cygwin or Mingw shell because on Cygwin/Mingw
- Ctrl C is not managed correctly and especially for airspy_rx the Ctrl C(abort) will not stop correctly and will corrupt the file.
